    Have you guys noticed stuff like this out there?
Yes, yes, oh yes. Question #1: Did they do a good job on the rug? I was recently in a woman's washroom at the Charlotte, NC, airport. This washroom had a large jolly greeter with a very loud voice: "GOOD AFTERNOON, WELCOME TO CHARLOTTE, HAVE A GOD-BLESSING DAY. GOD BLESS, BE SAFE GIRLS, GOD BLESS, GOD BLESS, GOD BLESS, LADIES ONCE AGAIN, GOD BLESS, GOD BLESS, GOD BLESS, GOD BLESS GIRLS, HAVE A GOD-BLESSING DAY." I'm not really sure what else she did besides bless people or perhaps watch their luggage while they went in a cubicle (where I hid from her booming voice and scribbled down her words verbatim.) If I was cool like TNG, I'd have recorded it and posted it. In any event, as I was leaving, I noticed her tip jar and stuffed a dollar in it. She then blessed me a few more times. Clearly this godly marketing tool works (and I'm an atheist.)
